Q: How to deal with enemies with no weaknesses?

RamirezIn my infiltration of a palace I started to notice a bit of a trend with enemies I am fighting. More and more the enemies are either having hard to use weaknesses or the even worse case no weaknesses at all. I have ran into an extremely difficult set of enemies in a palace that consists of one or...

Q: What is Battle Gauge and how does it work?

camelCaseIn the Lost Planet 2 campaign there is a Battle Gauge (labelled as B-GAUGE) bar that effectively gives you a game over when it is empty. From what I can tell, the bar increases and decreases in units of 500. Is this always the case (all levels, online, difficulty)? Does the bar ONLY decrease f...

@Lazers2.0 oh man, Lost Planet 2. It's been a long time old friend
I hate when listening to Pandora I get songs that start off great, continue great, and then finish terribly.
I want to skip the terrible ending, but I don't want to waste a skip.
18:15
They updated the spotify website (probably the desktop app too)
now it's great
it doesn't randomly disconnect anymore
so I can effectively use all the features of premium spotify for free using my browser
except HQ sound
well I'm not a sounds guy
heresy
or fan or whatever you want to call it
so it doesn't matter to me
2.1 speakers ftw
little 5W rms jobbies
18:16
I probably don't even have the audio setup to take advantage of HQ sound
@BlueBarren audiophile is the common term
i'm not even an audiofan
my ears are bust
one is so bust the eardrum is holier than the pope
@Avery No, that's mp3s.
@Avery I knew there was a thing I just didn't want it was, thanks!
@Yuuki what do we call flacs?
18:17
@Yuuki hehe
@Avery That's a textile.
you know 1000+kbps and stuff
too big to download on 56k
well yeah
oh that rain i predicted has arrived \o/
don't need to water the garden
18:21
@djsmiley2k at first I thought you wrote "water gun"
you don't need a water gun
@djsmiley2k :D
The best part is when the rain stops before you get home.
Then you can see the drops of water on your plants.
So I learned that cilantro doesn't emanate cilantro smell, it has to be picked before it starts to smell like cilantro.
I'm home.
Here, side by side, is the information provided by the American president and the Chinese president about the same… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/852218150980657158

Q: What is written on the 'L is real 2041' plaque?

Fredy31 There's an old folktale of the Mario 64 era that said that this plaque here is reading 'L is real 2041', and rumors said it meant that Luigi was somewhere in the game. What is really written on that plaque? or is it supposed to be just gibberish text that people imagined read 'L is real 2041'....

Q: How do I beat Uprising on Legendary difficulty?

dead insideThe achievement "Distinguished Service" requires that you beat Uprising on the regular gamemode on Legendary difficulty. This means we can't pick our usual huge DPS heroes like Bastion and Orisa, and are stuck with Torbjorn, Reinhardt, Mercy, and Tracer. The phases are as follows: Hack all 3 ...

Q: moomoo.io managing huge tribes?

AikenI've been playing moomoo.io a lot, and i usually build my clans up to 20 people, and build a huge base that's usually about 3-5 screens big. Sometimes, I even get every player on the server in my clan. (I usually decide to name the clan NOVA for some reason) But every time, it always ends after a...

18:28
@BlueBarren what's wrong
@BlueBarren because it's a popular and power version control system
That's why git, typically
Yesssssssss
I launched a Bob Rocket
cc: @KevinvanderVelden
@Avery I don't know what I'm doing, that's what's wrong
my hostname won't resolve
oh
have you tried... turning your pc off and on again?
18:30
do I have to ssh for my remote or can I use http?
or clearing your DNS caches using another method?
you can use https
@BlueBarren Are you using GitHub?
@murgatroid99 GitLab
@BlueBarren self host or...
18:31
self
oh
well the business I work for but I assume that counts as self
@Unionhawk When git works it works the best. When git fucks up it fucks up the worst.
I personally prefer ssh on self hosted gitlab instances
If it's like GitHub, SSH should make it easier to push changes
18:31
@KevinvanderVelden uhuh
I would use ssh if it worked but who says https will work either?
Nearly 30 hours apparently!
I prefer having a cloister of monks writing all of my source code to parchment using only raven or crow feathers with fine india ink.
Normally I use Visual Studio's built in stuff for version control
but I have a merge conflict so I'm trying to use the commands for the first time
18:32
@BlueBarren If the failure is related to hostname resolution, the fix probably isn't switching from SSH to HTTPS
Let me tell you the monks do not like it when I change branches.
Sorry about the misping, murgatroid99
@murgatroid99 I would figure
Also, merge conflict resolution is a local operation
18:33
@BlueBarren now the obvious question: Do you use any sort of proxy on the way to site?
like is the domain hosted by cloudflare etc?
@MadMAxJr Pfff, I use trained butterflies personally
aha!
now it's asking for a password
progress
I was missing a slash
@fredley my company wants to have some education on how to use TFS, and, like, TFS is pretty idiotproof
@BlueBarren I feel you. it's always the tiniest details
WHAT PASSWORD DO YOU WANT!?
It clearly doesn't want mine
18:35
@BlueBarren no password
@Unionhawk TFS?
@fredley team foundation server
GitHub uses SSH asymmetric certificates instead of passwords
@Avery now it's asking for my user's password
Microsoft's version control thing
18:35
@BlueBarren you need to generate an ssh key and upload it to your account on gitlab, and configure git to use that.
user@host's password:
@Avery well I remember doing something like that
@BlueBarren Then what was the last password it was asking for?
well then just configure git
@murgatroid99 git user
the ssh links for gitlab looks something like [email protected]:someproject.git, so probably it's trying to use git user
@murgatroid99 I assume the same thing but it didn't tell that info until I put in blank
I created an SSH key 8 months ago
and I've never used it
but it looks like a longer mac address
@Unionhawk rekt

Q: HOMM 3 Does anyone remember this map?

Przemysław CzechowskiI remember from playing HOMM a long time ago, so It could have been a vanilla RoE a single player map that I'm now trying to find. It was a single player and single hero map. You were starting in the underground and I'm almost sure this was a Dungeon Hero with Dungeon army. Or at least your oppo...

@fredley it's actually pretty ok
But I assume it being pretty ok stops outside the context of visual studio
Need some kind of Dark Souls code management system. You can recover your code ONCE. Then you lose it all back to the last node.
@Unionhawk I've never used VS
18:42
@fredley never?
wow.
TFS broke when I tried to use a unity project
and I stopped trying to use it after that
@Avery Nah, I haven't even used Windows in about a decade.
@fredley I have terrible news
there is visual studio for mac
@fredley That's because u old
@Avery lol but y
I'd be scared if there was Visual Studio for Android.
18:44
@fredley so microsoft can fill your tiny SSDs with its 50gb IDE?
I think it is
But it's funny because visual studio is huge lol
Ecks dee
it really is though
Good thing I have a half terabyte ssd on this machine
I worked extensively in VS2003/2005
THEN I STOPPED BEING A DEVELOPER.
@MadMAxJr my dream
18:47
I had to quit due to the psychological abuse of my employer constantly adding job responsibilities.
oof
@Avery wtf does it need 50GB for?!
Pretty sure that's larger than my OS
@MadMAxJr now that's considerably heavier than why I want to quit
@fredley idk, probably intellisense for every language or something
@fredley gotta install that emulator, that sdk, that cordova, that xamarin, oh hey let's throw in Unity too
18:47
And those things
@Unionhawk Language definitions are tiny...
minimal install comes in around 10-15gb. Default install installs tons of crapware most people don't even use.
As an ASP.NET / VB.NET / C# developer, I was responsible for meeting with the client, gathering requirements, refining requirements, preparing development guides, developing the product, perform acceptance testing with the client, develop fixes/suggestions, final pass testing, write documentation, and support the product for the life of my employment.
My employer went on to inform me "If I tell you to mow my lawn, that becomes your job, are we clear?"
@MadMAxJr gotta love that waterfall
I quit two weeks later.
18:48
@MadMAxJr Nope, that's not how things work.
I'm in a similar situation sort of
"The last line of your job is 'other duties as assigned', so you will do what I say."
So I quit being a developer, moved home to support my father through the strange time of coping with grandmas passing. I took the A+ exam and then went into fucking tech support.
Why fucking tech? TBH I'd choose almost any other type of tech first.
As a developer/tech support, I ended up working for a report software firm that provides developers who buy the product small to mid level code assistance with writing Java and javascript integrations.
So not typical tech support, but really developer support call-center.
@MadMAxJr You are a SO call centre?
18:51
Yes. But clients would try to trick us into writing customizations for them or try to get free training out of us instead of buying training.
sounds fun
I was terminated 'without reason' from that job after suffering my third panic attack resulting in an ER trip on the job.
Actually I only see 2gb for my vs2015 install unless there's a treasure trove of other files not in program files
Become a dev again but don't work for a psychopath?
I sort of buckled under the stress of an Amazon client calling, "We have platinum tier service and you have 30 minutes to get my server back up before I call legal."
18:51
@Unionhawk oh there is...
@MadMAxJr you're scaring me, this might be my future
I don't know where it lives but I assume it exists
NOW I write javascript/Rhino/Jelly/Angular.JS for helpdesk software. I build the tools helpdesks use.
@BlueBarren It's not, unless you work for a psychopath. I know people who do this job, and they have all the experience. Putting someone into that position who doesn't is dumb.
I have the development background and desk experience to make damn good tools.
And since the product I work on is a cloud-hosted 3rd party service, I'm not responsible for the day to day maintenance of the back end and my job responsibilities are clearly defined.

Q: How does Uprising scale over the different difficulties?

dead insideOver the different difficulties, that is Normal, Hard, Expert, and Legendary, I am trying to understand how exactly Uprising scales over the 4 difficulties. I've discerned a few things although I am a little lost over other things -- I know that the timers do not change -- hack times and defend ...

It only took me 7 years, three trips to the ER, developing moderate anxiety and depression to get to a stable career.
This is where you play the Reading Rainbow sound.
That first ER trip was fun. I was still new on the job and didn't have full health benefits yet.
So it cost me like $3,500 out of pocket.
Protip don't work for a psychopath
DONT EVER GET SICK OR ILL IN AMERICA WITHOUT FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT.
Or you literally cannot afford to live.
I'm in Canada
so 'free' healthcare
You just have to wait in line.
But it's there.
18:56
It would be nice to live in a country that gave even one single shit about its own citizens.
It would be nice to have a political party that gave a single shit that also didn't suck ass at winning elections
Well, there's just not enough room in Best Korea.
It's always scary working the tech sector in the american midwest. You are easily replaceable. Some employers are not afraid to make use of that.
@Yuuki there's room for everyone in turkey
I don't wanna go to Turkey.
18:57
@Avery sounds like we're all moving
@MadMAxJr but we'll defeat nk this sunday!
I dunno. I forget if that's the country where cows are sacred and have right-of-way on the streets.
I just vaguely recall we have a US air force base out there.
We probably have one in every country
Roughly speaking
@MadMAxJr well that's a religious thing I think is just specific to Hindi, so India?
I think India is mostly Hindi?
I may or may not know what I'm talking about
@BlueBarren yes
18:59
Well, no, turkey is a major access point to the mid-east for the USAF. We do not have bases everywhere. We have them in partner/ally nations in key locations.
I dunno. What kinda food you got in Turkey?
@MadMAxJr hmm I'm going to guess some turkey
heh
@MadMAxJr kebab.
Because here I literally live in 'Cowtown'
doner.
We have steakhouses and BBQ places like every other city block.
You know, I don't think I've ever had a proper kebab.
19:01
geez when did it get to 3pm?
about a minute ago
Gasp, you're in the future.
It's only 2 here.
@MadMAxJr you should go to a place owned by turkish immigrants and have one. Also tell them to vote no on sunday.
@MadMAxJr future isn't too bad, looks like it might rain though
Hmm. I'm not sure we have a turkish place here....
19:02
It's 10pm here. Catch on with the times, Americans!
@MadMAxJr oh man, we are everywhere.
@Avery (And Canadians too!)
@BlueBarren america first, canada second
There's a lovely place that does Mediterranean food where I learned that 'Oh my god Pita bread and hummus are amazing'.
@Avery story of my life :(
@MadMAxJr This attitude permeates most of North America. You can read some of my horror stories.
19:04
I ate at a Turkish restaurant in Germany and it was good.
It wasn't a kebab though.
kebab is mostly a meme at this point
there's multiple kinds of it and all are very different
and just calling it kebab doesn't really describe what you want to eat / what you ate.
@StrixVaria !!
@Avery I suppose you could make anything into a kebab if you just impale it on a wooden stick.
@StrixVaria that's adana kebab
19:08
Is doner the same as donair?
@GnomeSlice no
@BlueBarren yes
donair is the good one then
@StrixVaria you going to watch the na semis this weekend?
@GnomeSlice Wow, not even a Nova Scotian and you're saying this. Brings a tear to me eye.
... Not sure if Friday.
@MadMAxJr Not Friday, but also not an actual episode of Rick and Morty
Brandon Sanderson.... He's the one who did Elantris, right?
That was a weird magical apocalypse series.
Oh. Shish kebabs originate from Turkey.
Huh.
Normally no veggies or veggies are on a separate skewer. GOOD.
lamb, beef, chicken, or fish, but no pork. So I assume the typical ones are kosher then? Hmm.
Adana Kebab.... Okay now I'm hungry.
No more wikipedia.
@MadMAxJr search for iskender kebab too
No, you will not tempt me with your delicious seasoned, cooked meats!
I ate fish once in Japan and now I have deep cravings for various kinds of Tuna. Sampling meat is a gateway drug to MORE MEAT.
19:29
under the meat there's pide cut into pieces
You can't see but I'm holding up a cow skull and I am casting you out of my house, meat devil. You will not tempt me today.
@MadMAxJr yes, also a good one
@MadMAxJr correct. he also has a bunch of other really good series
mistborn series and the follow up, also his new stormlight archives
as well as quite a few others
I cringed at Elantris. "So yeah, we're immortal, but you can still be hurt, pain is eternal, so a broken bone will drive you insane after decades of torment and incurable pain."
The floating sphere spirit/advisor things were cool though.
@MadMAxJr I 'unno if cow skulls are good at banishing meat devil, I'd think animal remains would be better for banishing vegetable devils
19:33
I'm working on The Expanse before I go back to fantasy novels.
@MadMAxJr That's not how neurobiology works (I think). Eventually your brain will adjust.
@MadMAxJr Method of immortaility sucking #81273
@KevinvanderVelden I'll just work my way through the key ring of holy symbols, like that one scene in The Mummy.
@ash, do you read scifi?
@MadMAxJr I really want to make a cleric that does that.
19:34
I like The Expanse. It's quality sci-fi that isn't quite hard sci-fi that expects me to know advanced physics and math.
@Yuuki AD&D 2E had rules permitting you to be a Cleric of The Self, but you were limited to no more than 4th level magic.
@MadMAxJr Rewatching that scene, his Chinese is actually proper Chinese if understandably poorly accented.
From my understanding, he's saying "求求菩萨" which roughly translates to "Please, Buddha..."
"求求" translating to begging and pleading of some nature and "菩萨" obviously translating to "Buddha".

@MadMAxJr I love it because it's mostly the political stuff rather than hard Sci fi action stuff

have you ever read the Avatar Chronicles?
user15026
It doesn't ring a bell. Author?
@Ash Avarasala is a great character in the book and I think her TV series casting is rather faithful to her.
Sadly the TV series diverges a bit much from the books in places so I enjoy it less.
conor kostick
I'm only halfway through book 2. Good stuff.
i think it is a very interesting series. i havent read a series quite like it
user15026
19:46
@Dragonrage I will have to check it out
user15026
@MadMAxJr I like the books, I am not very far in the TV show.
ooooo so close
The Expanse doesn't have fancy things like energy shields. And mass drivers are hella scary guns. Puts holes clean through ships.
97 v 100 on cod
And they flip ship decks 90 degrees from the engine thrust, so the thrust produces gravity.
So they're like flying office towers.

Point defense guns?

Q: Unified Changelog for Breath of The Wild?

ylluminateIs anyone aware of a community driven unified changelog for inbound updates to Breath of The Wild? I've spoken to a lot of people who are afraid of updates for one reason or another and no one really seems to have any central location for keeping track of changes. I'm sure I speak for many of us...

Yes, they have point defense guns.
Torpedos are a thing too. The only reason ships have two armor hulls. Exterior hulls allow you to survive a near miss of a torpedo.
Nothing in The Expanse survives direct hits. Well, unless the mass driver punches through the ship and doesn't actually hit any core systems. Then it just vents atmo.
Mars has better ships, Earth has more ships.
They don't really like each other but it's too expensive to go to war.
Can point defense guns attempt to destroy the mass driver projectile?
Not that I'm aware of.
point defense guns can be used in close ship combat
The intrigue of the stories tends to revolve around 'The Belt'. We've settled good chunks of the asteroid belt as mining colonies and some as the equivalent of gigantic shipping/distribution centers.
Belters are often born and raised in as little as .4G so they tend to be taller, slender, and more frail.
20:07
Hamstare this code
Ship engine travel tends to be limited by the physical limits of how many Gs the human body can take.
So they have 'crash' beds lined with gel for high speed travel/maneuvers.

@MadMAxJr Do they show you would still get concussions from massive acceleration/deacceleration when your brain presses up against the inside of your skull?
@badp must you always make it so that show full text doesnt show anymore text?
@Dragonrage Well, this is @badp after all.
20:10
What exactly is it supposed to be anyways
An excellent starlist item
Is this a badpainting
You merely adopted the ART.
@Yuuki Pilot gets pumped full of stimulants and substances that act as sort of a support/insulation against high G stress. Passengers get the same but without the stimulant. In extreme G maneuvers, passengers will pass out, crew will remain alert, but repeated use of stims has consequences.
@quartata it's a WHARGARBL, duh
20:13
@MadMAxJr ... the spice stimulant must flow?
So they have solutions to a lot of the basic space travel questions you'd ask, given the rules they establish.
But it doesn't require 'hard sci-fi' knowledge to figure out how or why it works in the book.
Basically, without the chem cocktail you'll be crushed by the acceleration force.
There are still also risks to prolonged high-g thrust. The juice doesn't mean you can keep thrusting at say 8-g forever.
I think by the end of book one Alex has to advise them against doing something like a sustained 12G burn.
@MadMAxJr Yeah, they end up getting above 10-g before someone (I forget if it's Alex or Holden) hits the button to cut the engines.
Because the alternative is permanent nervous damage.
20:33
Estes underperformed Trump's margin by 20.3 points. If every district behaved like that, Dems would gain 122 (!) Ho… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/852160966875914241
L E T S G O
@Unionhawk Wait, who was Estes running against?
Idk some dude
Waiting for someone to get back to me on whether I solved their problem or not is the worst.
It was a special election on a safe red seat which became much more contested than normal
@Unionhawk Okay, I think that's the one I'm thinking of.
The DNC had pretty much given up on it but there was some grassroots campaign for the Democratic campaign.
20:39
So literally the only thing that's true about the president's tweet quoted there is that there was in fact an election, it was in Kansas, and Estes did win
Yeah, IIRC, the Democratic Party spent like no money at all.
Because they didn't think they would win it.
And therefore also didn't predict victory.
But DCCC didn't​ do shit and at best the prediction was "it might be closer than normal" and "we might get it but it's a long shot"
But now we know it bleeds, so we can kill it
But then what if Trump says "Martha"?
Everything is terrible
Every thing
Not a thing is not terrible
It don't look like it be but it do
So Jude Law will be playing Young-ish Dumbledore.
20:46
Everything is awful. Everything is sad when you're part of a team. Everything is awful
@Unionhawk apparently the far left is pissed at the DCCC for not sending money
(that's the Megablox remix)
basically being more about protecting the dem leadership in the house than trying to retake the majority
i am not sure where i stand on this
Wish me luck. I'm going to try playing Borderlands 2 again, last time I tried my (old) GPU ended up dead.
@Arperum good luck

@Lazers2.0 This guy really doesn't like our recommendation rules.
@Frank we can show countless such Q&As that go against your remarks on the site that have never been closed or attacked like this. Honestly this is an ego driven mutual admiration society like too much of SO; not quality driven. — ylluminate 4 mins ago
And that's at least borderline offensive.
'attacked'
Enforcing site guidelines is not an attack and rewording your intent does not make your content magically acceptable when it is still a recommendation instead of a concise question with a clear answer.
Telling us to go clean up the site also does not detract from the post in question being not a good fit for our site.
So my windows has updated for me while I was out to dinner, but not the creator's update
I came back to a black screen with my computer working, I forcibly shut it down and started it up again, it finished installing updates and now my second monitor is black
Also, when I started it, I had massive FPS issues
@Frank Ah, I see the Reddit mentality of "everything that doesn't agree with me is a circlejerk" has made it over to SE.
I'm going to clean install my display driver, see if that fixes it
